The rifle shooting that many bullets to the same P.O.I is WOW!


Here are two groups shot in the same session as the last few groups. These are 60 gr. partitions, fire form loads at 100 yds.

What's the old saying, I'm just one rifle away from being happy. I kinda got side tracked last year on other stuff and have not really spent enough time with this rifle to wring it out.

I have a couple spots where I can shoot out to 700 yds or so. However, I classify myself as a short range meat hunter. Most of my shots are 160 yds and under using a 24 cal and under. Where I hunt it is so thick that if stuff isn't drt or leave an immediate blood trail, many times game is lost.
If I'm going to be shooting over 200 yds I usually use 6.5 cal or larger.

If the rifle was mine that 60 NP with 25.5 of H-4895 would be the load I would use. My wife and I hunted in Texas for whitetail deer in Dec.2011 and I know what you're talking about it being thick.
